How much struggle had to be done in Mumbai

There were challenges but no worries
Talking about his struggle, Pankaj further said, ‘Yes, there were challenges as to when will I get the opportunity, in how much time will I get it. My dreams were also small.

What dreams do you want to fulfill in the coming time?
Pankaj Tripathi, who leads an ordinary life, told about his dreams, ‘I don’t know, it means that I have become successful, now I have to be meaningful. Society has given us a lot, now we have to think about what we can give to the society. Yes, but there is no need to go into politics for this. But something has to be done for the society.

Singer Shreya Ghoshal is a veteran playback singer of the Bollywood industry. Shreya Ghoshal has received 5 National Awards. At the age of 16, Shreya made a place in the hearts of people across the country by singing for the film Devdas. Shreya talked about her journey in ABP News’ ‘Idea of ​​India’.

Shreya Ghoshal also sang the songs ‘Mohe Rang Do Lal’, ‘Mere Dholna’ in this session and enthralled the audience with her melodious voice.

Shreya Ghoshal’s journey

Shreya talked about her initial journey. He told that his mother taught him singing. Shreya said, ‘At the age of 16 I had no idea. But I was just moving towards one destination. This journey started long ago. I come from Rajasthan. I have been associated with music since childhood. My family is an academy family. My mother used to sing very beautifully. He taught me music. I just kept singing. People saw me and appreciated me. Then I came to Mumbai. Then I did the show Sa Re Ga Ma and then Devdas. I had 5 songs in Devdas and Bairi Piya got a lot of love. After this I did not look back.

Devdas’ ‘Bairi Piya’ song was sung in one take

Regarding singing in Devdas, Shreya said, ‘Sanjay ji then told me to go and sing through the mic. Do a little warm up. So I came after singing the song, so that was the first take. Everyone blessed me a lot.

Did Shreya Ghoshal face rejection?

Shreya said, ‘Devdas is a huge platform for a 16 year old girl. But this does not mean that I started singing every song. It took me a long time to sing the song after this. A little typecast also occurs. It so happened that he is a classical singer. I waited for a good song. Things need to happen at the right time. My next song was ‘Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai’. Everything happened slowly for me.

Let us tell you that Shreya Ghoshal has sung songs in 20 languages.

Is it necessary for a singer to sing in the film industry to make his mark? On this Shreya said, ‘Now times have changed. Now if you are doing something independently then the audience likes it very much. Independent songs are being liked more. Now a shift is being seen. When we came, singing in the film was very important. But now it is not so.

Is Shreya Ghoshal redefining herself and hence taking up less playback singing projects? On this the singer said, ‘I have been singing in films since 2002. Even before that I was working for the album. So now I also feel that I should do something different. Now my personal growth has also taken place. Now I am also a mother. So I do only that in which I feel 100 percent happy. The third reason is that film music has also become mail driven. There are less songs with female perspective. These are the reasons why I have probably become choosy about songs now. That’s why I am also focusing on independent songs. If I get something good in other films, I will definitely do it.

Shreya also talked about the song ‘Mere Dholna’. He told that he had sung that song very raw.

Regarding her life’s philosophy, Shreya said, ‘She makes zero compromises. According to me, if you sing from your heart and sing well, you may get less songs but your songs will be timeless and will pull you along. The audience is God. If you have created your place with honesty then it is visible. You need to be honest. If someone does something deceitfully, it is visible. Afana, give 100 percent.

Tribute to Lata Mangeshkar

Regarding the musical tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, Shreya said, ‘For me, the first note is my mother’s voice and then Lata ji’s voice. He is the soul of my thinking. Lata didi has worked for so many decades, now you can say it any number of times. I am also told many times that I am taking his legacy forward. But I can’t do this. The work she has done. There is magic in his voice. His song was so supreme that people gave him that respect. My upcoming concert is a tribute to him.

I feel that due to the love of my father, God will definitely help me and I will reach the mark of 500. This was just an emotion of mine. I haven’t seen even a single frame of the film yet. I used to stand outside and listen to the sound to see how Ahaan’s dialogue delivery was. But haven’t seen it.

What will you choose between playback singing or live concert or independent music? On this Armaan further said that he wants to do everything. He said, ‘I think an artist should not limit himself. Playback singing is a type of music. I also sing in English. I get to do a lot of things creatively so I don’t get bored. There came a time where I also felt that I had to do different things.

When there was a fight with brother Amaal

Armaan Malik also talked about his brother Amaal Malik. Armaan said, ‘Out of all the hit songs I have sung, 80 percent have been of Amaal only. People love the combination of both of us. He has had a huge role and contribution. He is the elder brother so we fight a lot. There was so much fight between us over one song that I was almost about to leave the studio. But then director Saheb Luv ​​Ranjan said that when I leave from here, both of you please give me this song. Then I sang that in anger. So Amaal can do what no one else can do with me so that I can give the best.
